The 2022 Euro Beach Soccer League was the 25th edition of the Euro Beach Soccer League (EBSL), the annual, premier competition in European beach soccer contested between men's national teams. It was organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), in a league and play-off format.

This season, the competing teams continued to take part in two divisions: the top tier (Division A) and the bottom tier (Division B). Division A shrunk from 12 to 10 teams; nine teams returned from last season, plus Estonia who were promoted, meanwhile two teams did not compete due to bans. Division B accommodated 12 nations: those who did not gain promotion from last season, two debuting countries (Malta and Latvia), and teams returning after an absence from competing in recent years.

This season's format was altered considerably compared to the usual programme. All teams in Division A played together across five matchdays. The eight best teams advanced to the post-season event, the Superfinal, but only the top four competed for the EBSL title itself. The teams of Division B entered straight into the Promotion Final to try to earn a spot in Division A next year; no team was relegated this year, whilst the top four were guaranteed promotion to Division A, rather than the usual one, because the top tier is being expanded to 16 teams for 2023.{{Cite web |title=Euro Beach Soccer League: 2022 structure announced |work=Beach Soccer Worldwide |date=16 June 2022 |access-date=20 June 2022 |url=https://beachsoccer.com/euro-beach-soccer-league-2022-structure-announced-2 |archive-date=19 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220619220130/https://beachsoccer.com/euro-beach-soccer-league-2022-structure-announced-2 |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=Uma Liga Europeia diferente: vai haver final four para definir campeão |trans-title= |author=Filipe Simoes, Bruno |work=ZeroZero.pt |date=17 June 2022 |access-date=20 June 2022 |url=https://www.zerozero.pt/news.php?id=370177 |language=pt |archive-date=20 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220620192139/https://www.zerozero.pt/news.php?id=370177 |url-status=live }}

The league also acted as the qualification route to the 2023 European Games; the top six teams of the Superfinal plus the Promotion Final winners qualified to join hosts Poland.

The Promotion Final was won by Moldova who were promoted to Division A for the first time alongside Kazakhstan, whilst Greece and Turkey also earned promotion. Portugal were the three-time defending champions and were looking for a record fourth straight title, but were beaten in the final by Switzerland who claimed their second title, following their maiden crown ten years prior in 2012.{{Cite web |title=Switzerland win first European title in 10 years |work=Beach Soccer Worldwide |date=11 September 2022 |access-date=11 September 2022 |url= https://beachsoccer.com/switzerland-win-first-european-title-in-10-years}}
